Matty. - I f00king love your car lol, red = faster than any other for a start, like the alloys as they are just black, but like a dark greyish colour, top work fella

Cheers dude :)
Yep red adds 10bhp didnt you know? :lol:

And cheers :) might be changing the alloys once winters over but not too sure yet :)

1/4 mile in 13.8 :blink: erm dont think i will keep up unless i up the boost and timing and shed the car of all its creature comforts lol.

Good work mate.

Well the 1.2 thread didnt last long did it :) Mine still has the aircon, a few air bags and the usual :)

Do you have a slip for your time? that was my best of the day but id like to see what a similar power (albeit petrol) cars times are. What support mods do you have?

02 Uno.Dos, Flash Red LOVE IT!!!

ive got diddy 14 inch alloys on mine too, the ones from the chrome pack :p

all this 1/4 mile talk, methinks all the 1.2ers should get together and do a 1/4 mile day, see who's best... although i'm guessing Mixups rules the roost :)

I had a 1.2 12v Fabia (same engine) as a Hire Car once, I loved the sound of it especially when you revved it, it sounded like a V6. It was very nippy around town and I got about 40mpg from it.

But compared to my vRS out of town it was very underpowered, when you put your foot down it just made a noise and didn't do much, although TBH I did prefer that sound compared to my Diseasel.

i have a 1.2s. im fitting an induction kit but i dont know what size hose to buy to connect the cone filter to the thing that sucks in all the air under the engine cover. does anybody know? its on the top right of the engine and it connects to the factory airbox on the engine cover. any ideas? thank you.

Anyone noticed a sudden mechancial jolt if they lift straight off the throttle at low speeds?

I'm learning to drive atm, and was following slow traffic and noticed this, generally only in 1st or 2nd gear..

is this just a characteristic? or something i should get checked out?

P.S, still loving the uno dos, going for the FR look now with wheels and grills etc.. just don't get tempted to try and street race :)

Yeah I get the same matey usually happens at high revs...... just something to get used to, or slip it into a higher gear
